Ok, I made a major change to the database (but I'm not done). Please hop on discord if you find errors doing something!

The max title length is 50 which is a value I came up with randomly very early on in the rewrite. I forgot to revisit it. It's way too short.
I'll bump it to 150 when I do another server deploy.
Not sure why the "title too long" error isn't working. Right now it just silently redirects you without telling you why. You should be able to make that thread if you trim that title down from 65 chars to 50 chars.
Sorry, but will be fixed soon.
Fixed now?
I had tried to force HTTP->HTTPS (secure) connections through <https://www.cloudflare.com/>, but it was just not working for some people, so I shut it all off.
I'll have to enable secure connections the right way.
> Can't access the site on my desktop.
It it fixed now? Possibly related to <http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75462/posts/ooc>.
I was experimenting with something the past few days which may have been causing the issue. I just reverted it.
Does it work now?
Has this been happening since the relaunch or just within the past day?
I just changed something. Does it work now?
This server is days behind the tip of the codebase. I was hoping to fit BBCode into the release.
If it looks like I won't be able to push BBCode til the weekend, then I'll push a release tonight with assorted fixes.
> hmm... just got an idea... would it be possible to program it to so that uncooperative BBcodes (i.e. ones not written correctly) are marked out somehow? Say a shiny red (or some other color)? (in the submitted/previewed post?
Hmm, I could see that being useful when you're dealing with a lot of BBCode, like when building a [table] by hand:
[table]
[row] [cell]foo[/cell] [cell]bar[/cell] [cell]qux[/cell] [/row]
[row] [cell]1[/cell] [cell]3[/cell] [cell]5[/clel] [/row]
[row] [cell]2[/cell] [cell]4[/cell] [cell]6[/cell] [/row]
[table]
(See the typo?)
Though that kind of polish tends to be pretty expensive in terms of opportunity cost.
Hey WeepingLiberty,
You can help verify your issue by looking at the debug output in your browser's console.
- When you click "Edit", your browser makes a request to `/posts/<POST_ID>/raw` to fetch the current text. It then prints out the result to the console.
- When you click "Save" on the edit-form, your browser sends the update to the server and receives the updated-post. It then prints out the updated-post to the console.
To illustrate, here's my browser console while updating the text of [this post](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75355/posts/ooc#post-2332647) from "test3" to "test4":
- When I clicked "Edit", it made that GET request and then print out "test3".
- When I changed the text and clicked "Save", you can see that it made the PUT request and printed out the updated post with:
text: "test4"
There's definitely an issue if the updated-post readout comes back with the same pre-edit text.
test4
